Kawhia, Maehe 27, /44. Friends Te Puke Whiti and Poharama, it is right you have sold your land viz. Taranaki and you received goods for the Chiefs of Waikato viz. for Waitara Pakaru Ngatapu Paora and Muriwhenua all these Chiefs received payment but I have received none. Now the evil was commenced some time ago Tawhakarongo was my man, when he was dead you gave me Ngamotu. Tuherana was the second place that I received no payment from you. You were wrong, that is why I went to sell a piece in order to receive payment. You were in the wrong. If any Chief of Waikato sold it I should have said nothing. Friend I will not go to you. Friend Poharama be kind to the Europeans. The Governor will decide for the natives. Friend mind the Europeans and do not send them off their places because friend the Governor has got it (the land) (meaning that it is in the Governors lands) be like me I am kind to my Europeans be kind to your Europeans. You are wrong
